Fury in district, stone being taken back (7)

I believe the answer is:

megaera

'fury' is the definition.
(Megaera is one of the Furies in Greek myth)

'district stone being taken back' is the wordplay.
'district' becomes 'area' (a district is a geographical area).
'stone' becomes 'gem' (a gemstone).
'being taken back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'area'+'gem'='areagem'
'areagem' written backwards gives 'MEGAERA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for megaera that I've seen is " One of the Furies".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
